Apparently you think my goal was simply brevity.

You cannot possibly justify or quantify that in this context. Only if we
were dealing with an unknown umask would I agree with you. In chapter 4
we set umask where it is unknown. In chapter 6 we have not done anything
to specify umask because we know the default of 022 prevails. Also, your
first install doesn't user -m so it is also using the default umask and
no different than mkdir.

My goal is to showcase completely viable alternatives of how to do
things. I see no attempt to do that in the current ticket.
